Small, ruined towers standing in an quiet section of Angkor Thom. Inscriptions indicate
that the site was used as early as the 9th century, but the present
structure is post Angkorian. The materials from the 10th and 11th were
reused for the current structure which was probably assembled in the
late 13th century. The few carvings that still exist are Buddhist some
dating as late as the 17th century.
